Today, my car died on a major road, a cop pulled over to help, he offered to jump me, while doing so because my battery was so dead he told me to put the gas on the floor, I did and my car roared to life, he then pulled me over five feet from where my car died to give me a ticket for a loud exhaust.

Today, after my car died a mile from my house, I huffed, puffed and pushed it back to my house off the street, so I wouldn't get a ticket overnight. After getting it towed to the shop in the morning, I got a call telling me they put gas in it for me and it starts up fine now. FML

Today, a guy's car broke down in my street, so I helped him push it into my driveway, checked his car out, and gave it a jump start. He thanked me, then as he went to pull out, he instead smashed straight into my car. FML

Today, my friend's van ran out of gas on an expressway off-ramp. After pushing it to the shoulder, we walked to a gas station and got a can of gas. We got back to the van to find that the battery had died from leaving on the lights and hazards to avoid an accident. FML

Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML

Today, I went out to my car only to find my battery had died the night before. With the wind chill, it was -20°F outside. With the hood open, and jumper cables in one hand, I tried to flag down a passing motorist for help. A man in a truck slowed down, sarcastically waved at me, and kept driving. FML

Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML

Today, I crashed into a pole on purpose as a cop pulled me over for speeding. I figured the officer would feel bad for me and that the cost of fixing my car would be less than a ticket. He gave me one anyway. FML

Today, while driving on the tollway my car overheated and died a few yards from the toll booth. I then had to wait, crying, in my smoking car for a patrol guy while cars moved around me. He had to push me through the toll and the lady in the booth said she felt sorry for me but still took my $3. FML

Today, I was driving to a gas station because I'd noticed I was almost on empty. Literally a block away from the gas station, my car broke down in the middle of an intersection, and I had to push my car to the side of the road, only to be questioned by police for "suspicious behavior." FML

Today, I picked up my car from the repair shop, drove two miles, and ran out of gas. I then walked to get gas, put a gallon of gas in the car, and tried to start it. The battery was too weak to start the car, and died on the spot. FML

People who hate cops usually just say that because they've been caught doing something wrong. There's nothing wrong with cops.

um, to #4. you bitch about people "playing dumb" to get out of speeding tickets, but sometimes it actually works. so yeah, people are gonna do all they can to get out of their 200something dollar tickets that usually result from a bored cop. as for them "putting their lives on the line," how come there are more cops on the road with their radar guns out than there are cops looking for drug dealers and child molestors? my friend's sister got abducted the other day, and the second it was reported that they found her the cops dropped the case completely. yeah, they're a big help- if they can make money off of you.

#19- With court costs it may just be cheaper to pay the ticket. OP: That sucks, unless you normally DO have a loud exhaust, he had no right to give you a ticket for doing what he told you to.

#13, your completely wrong, and #4 is completely right. I'm pretty sure that without cops we would have no one to enforce the law.. honestly cops are just grumpy because everyone hates them.... they only hate them because they stop them from doing things they shouldn't. Most cops, if your nice to them will be nice back. Some aren't... but you get those kinds of people in every profession. Grow up. Respect them.

Yeah #99, then you can make an FML about it 5 months later after you get out of jail about how you assaulted a cop and spent half a year being someones bitch in prison. E-thuggery, it knows no bounds.
